So far he's made a great impression and is currently joint odds-on to win the reality television show - which is pretty impressive given that he only realised he was on a reality show five minutes into the episode.

'Stanley' was trending last night on social media and people in Cornwall seem to love him - especially the fact that he has no idea who anyone else is, possibly including Ant and Dec. Also, Jamie Vardy the cricketer? Brilliant.

So, only an hour and 45 minutes into the I'm a Celebrity madness - what have we learned about Mr Johnson?

Strong Westcountry roots: Aside from being born in Penzance, which is about as west as you can get, Stanley also now lives on Exmoor in the village of Winsford.

His first Bushtucker Trial: We're not going to forget this in a hurry. “My hand is totally recovered. I got a couple of pecks, from a lobster I should have thought, or a prawn, or maybe a squid. By the way, did you know squids have very nasty beaks?”

Unfortunately he, along with Shappi Khorsandi, failed in his first task and was left without a meal ticket.

He was the first into the jungle shower: Viewers were 'treated' to the sight of Stanley stripping to his pants for the I’m a Celebrity rainfall shower, made famous by Myleene Klass in a white bikini.

He's a ladies man: Aside from trying to keep "Shappi happy", he made his thoughts on the opposite sex known when meals were being distributed by confessing one of his primary rules.

"As long as women are happy", he said, "men are happy."

He is currently odds-on to win: William Hill is offering 11/4 for Stanley to beat fellow south west celeb Georgia Toffolo.

Stanley's a true blue: He was a Conservative MEP from 1979 to 1984 and stood for Teignbridge in the 2005 General Election. He later admitted that spelling Teignbridge without a “d” in his campaign leaflets and calling for “more talk and less action” didn’t help. He lost to the Lib Dems.

Unlike his son Boris, he voted Remain in the Brexit referendum But just recently he has changed his mind: “Looking back, say, 50 years from now, from the UK’s (and even the EUs?) perspective Brexit may indeed seem to have been the right move at the right time.”

He has at least heard of Hollyoaks: "I know about Hollyoaks, I'm actually not trying to be funny about this but it actually comes just as you're trying to watch the Channel 4 news."

Mr Johnson isn't the only south west representative: Could it be Cornwall versus Devon in jungle? Devon's Georgia "Toff" Toffolo studied at Torquay Girls' Grammar School before making headlines for her appearances in Made In Chelsea. She also previously worked at a family run solicitors in Devon. Also, did anyone else notice how star-struck she was when she met Stanley?

He doesn’t think Boris will find out he is in the jungle “I don’t think Boris knows. We were told strictly not to tell anybody. I haven’t told anyone and I stick by the rules, I can tell you. I very much doubt he will ever hear about it. Don’t tell me he’s going to hear about it, it’s very unlikely. Knowing Boris he may never find out.”

Stanley has no idea who most of the other celebs are in the jungle are Rebekah Vardy told him: “I’m the wife of Jamie Vardy. He plays for England.” To which Stanley replied: “Now is he going to be out for the Ashes? ‘Cause the first match is next week.”
